The prestigious school that turned out many heroes, U.A. High School.
Enrolled in their hero course, I continue to run toward my dream,
standing up to any difficulties and saving people with a smile...
...in order to become the greatest hero!
I know what I have to do now
It's my life one and only
Even if I wipe my tears thousands of times, they won't stop
I never expected my days to be easy
Follow my way, take me to frustration
Follow my way, I'll aim for beyond that
I want to celebrate deep emotion rather than the mundane when I dream
I know what I have to do now
In the midst of all these possible lives
I've found the correct one
Make my story
Because I'm the only me
I want to always live my life with feelings like promise and resolve
I'm sure days will come when I'll feel like crying
I want to make a path that'll let me move forward when I look back on times like that
I see! Leg techniques, huh?
If your arms are unstable, then switch to your legs!
I like that kind of thinking!
In that case, I'll whip up some super cute leg-part babies for you!
Oh, but I don't want to change my current costume design much right now...
A good designer can meet all the reckless, ignorant, and ill-advised demands of the client!
Mr. Power Loader!
If my idea is good, then you will use it, right?
Only if it's good.
Everything's settled?
But if you are going to use your legs as a selling point,
then you'll need to adapt to being a speed-type hero like Iida!
That's true...
With his stature and weight, Iida is just like an armored car equipped with an F1 engine.
If you're going to fight in the same ring as him...
Wait a minute!
I have a power-up move called Full Cowling
that lets me increase the strength of my whole body...
Oh, in that case, we can finish this off quick!
"Four Days Later"
A new move...
AP Shot!
"AP Shot (Armor Piercing Shot)" AP Shot!
"AP Shot (Armor Piercing Shot)"
I did it!
Hey, look out!
Idio--
I got the idea for Full Cowling from Gran Torino and Kacchan!
The essence of that is quick, small movements and precise maneuvering!
In order to keep that alive,
I need the least amount of equipment with the maximum possible effect!
Arm-supporting braces
and iron soles that can act as cleats or armor!
Smash...!
This is my new costume that I made with Hatsume,
Costume Gamma!
"The Test"
Are you all right, All Might?!
Yeah!
Oh?
What was that, Midoriya?
You just waltzed in there and showed some amazing destructive power!
I thought you were a puncher.
Kaminari, Kirishima.
The destructive power was thanks to the soles Hatsume suggested for me.
I learned how to use my body from Iida and changed my fighting style.
I've only figured out what direction I want to go in,
but it's still just a stopgap,
and I don't have anything I can call an ultimate move yet...
No, I think it's already more effective than just a stopgap.
Especially for the provisional licensing exam.
All Might, it's dangerous, so don't get too close.
Oh, excuse me!
Young Bakugo! I'm sorry!
Watch yourself, All Might!
"Watch yourself," huh?
I get it, but...
I guess to everyone else, I'm someone to be protected now, huh?
You guys made improvements to your costumes, too?
You noticed? Did you?
You're not the only one with a new style!
The others are making changes here and there, too.
This is no time to lose focus!
But my change in style is huge!
You're in for a surprise!
You wanna see? You can! It's seriously amazing!
That's enough, Class A!
Today, Class B is scheduled to use this place in the afternoon.
Class B?
Man, what terrible timing!
Eraser, hurry up and get out of the way.
We still have almost ten minutes.
You're not good at using time wisely, Vlad.
Hey, did you know?
The provisional licensing exam has a 50% fail rate.
All of you should just fail!
He comes right at us with how he feels, huh?
"ha ha ha" He comes right at us with how he feels, huh?
"ha ha ha"
--Wait, is that Monoma's costume? --Why don't we see exactly who's better?
"ha ha ha" --"Since my Quirk's Copy, there's no need for anything especially eccentric," he said. --Why don't we see exactly who's better?
"ha ha ha"
That's him not being eccentric?
Still, his opinion is reasonable.
As long as we are taking the same exam,
it is our fate to crush each other.
That's why Class A and Class B applied to different locations.
The hero licensing exam takes place each June and September
in three different locations across the country at the same time.
In order to avoid students from the same school fighting each other,
all schools subscribe to the theory of splitting up their students by time or location.
"Whew"
Whew.
"ahahaha ahahaha ahahaha"
It is unfortunate that we will not be able to fight each other directly!
"ahahaha ahahaha ahahaha"
He said "Whew," didn't he?
"ahahaha ahahaha ahahaha"
I wonder if there's a diagnosis for the type of mental state he has...
"All schools," huh...?
That's right, I didn't really think about it that much,
but we'll be fighting against other schools to pass.
And in our case, we're getting them early...
In addition,
there are very few first years in the country trying to get their provisional licenses.
In other words...
...the test will have those who've trained longer than you,
with Quirks you don't know about that they've polished up until now.
The actual contents of the exam are unclear,
but what is clear is that you all will have a hard time.
It's not good to get too hung up about it,
but keep that in mind.
Yes, sir!
We're working so hard every day...
It's not called "intensive training" for nothing, huh?
Even so, there's less than a week left before the provisional licensing exam.
Yao-Momo, how's your ultimate move coming?
There's something I want to do, but my body can't keep up yet,
so I need to develop my Quirk a little more first.
What about you, Tsu?
I've perfected a move even more frog-like than before.
I'm sure even you'll be surprised, Toru.
What about you, Ochaco?
Ochaco?
Huh?
You seem tired.
Oh, no, I'm not tired at all.
I'm just getting started!
At least, that's how it's supposed to be, but, how do I put it...?
Recently, my heart's been feeling all stirred up...
It's love!
Wh... What? Glove? Shove? Dove?
"Glove!? Shove!? Dove!?" Wh... What? Glove? Shove? Dove?
"Glove!? Shove!? Dove!?"
--I don't know what you're talking about! --Is it Midoriya, or Iida?
You're always with them, aren't you?
No, no, that's not it!
No, it's not, it's not...
She floated...
Who is it? Which one? Who is it?
Spit it out.
You'll get a lighter sentence if you confess.
That's not it, really!
I really don't know anything about that stuff...
It's not good to force an investigation, you know.
That's right.
More importantly, we have an early start tomorrow, so we should turn in.
What? No way! I want to hear more!
Even if we don't talk about anything important, I want to force it to be about romance!
That's...
That's not it... Iida was more like...
He used his back, yeah, his back and his flexibility...
I can visualize the shape in my head now.
In order to bring it up to the "ultimate move" level...
That's not...
"Provisional Licensing Exam Location National Dagoba Arena"
Our days of training passed by, and then the day of the exam was upon us!
"Provisional Licensing Exam Location National Dagoba Arena"
Ah, I'm getting nervous!
I wonder what we'll have to do...
I wonder if I can get my provisional license...
Mineta, it's not about whether or not you can. Go and get it!
Right, c-course-of!
If you can pass this test and get your provisional licenses,
then you novice eggs will become chicks...
You'll hatch into semi-pros.
Do your best.
All right, I'll become a chick!
Let's all call out the usual! Ready, set--
Plus...
...Ultra!
You shouldn't just barge in on other people's huddles, Inasa.
Oh, no!
I am...
...very... extremely...
...sorry!
What's with this guy trying to get by with just his enthusiasm?!
He is...
Wait, that uniform...!
It's from that famous school in western Japan...
U.A. in the east, Shiketsu in the west...
Of the many hero courses, it's an elite school that rivals U.A...
...Shiketsu High School!
I wanted to try saying it just once! Plus Ultra!
I love U.A. High School!
I am extremely honored to be able to compete against U.A. students!
I'm looking forward to it!
Oh, blood.
Let's go.
Inasa Yoarashi...
Mr. Aizawa, you know him?
He's... strong.
--Blood? I'm fine! I like blood! --Last year, the same year as you guys,
Yoarashi got the top scores of those admitted through recommendations,
but for some reason, he turned down his acceptance.
What?! Then, he's a first year?!
And if he was the top of those with recommendations...
Then, his abilities are above Todoroki's?!
Inasa Yoarashi... from Shiketsu High School...
And now, everyone from U.A., please excuse me!
His name's Inasa Yoarashi?
Even though he says he loves U.A., he threw away his chance to enroll. I don't get it.
Right? What a weirdo.
He's weird, but he's the real thing.
Keep an eye out for him.
Eraser? It's you, isn't it, Eraser?!
I've seen you on TV and at the sports festival,
but it's been a while since I've seen you in person!
She's...
Let's get married.
No.
"Ba-dump" No.
"Ba-dump"
--No? Good one! --You're hard to talk to, as usual, Joke.
...Smile Hero: Ms. Joke!
"Outburst" Her Quirk's Outburst!
She forces those near her to laugh, dulling their thinking and their movements!
Her fights against villains are full of craziness!
If you marry me, then we can make a happy family with never-ending laughter!
A family like that can't be happy.
You two seem close.
Our agencies used to be close to each other!
In our cycle of helping and being helped, our mutual love for each other bloomed--
No, it didn't.
Oh, I love your quick retorts!
You're so worth teasing, Eraser!
Joke, since you're here, that means...
That's right. Come here, everyone!
It's U.A.
Oh, it's the real thing!
Wow, that's amazing! I've seen them all on TV!
Ketsubutsu Academy, second years, Class 2!
They're my class. Please be kind.
I'm SHINDO! U.A. has had trouble after trouble this year, so it must've been tough!
Huh? Ye...
But even so, you all are still aiming to be heroes like this, huh?
That's wonderful!
A heart of fortitude
is what I believe all heroes should have from now on!
He's too bright!
He's totally a charming pretty-boy type!
From among you, there's Bakugo, who experienced being the center of the Camino incident.
You have an especially strong heart.
Today, I'll do my best while learning from you!
Stop pretending. What you're saying doesn't match the look on your face!
Hey! Stop being so rude!
Sorry for his rudeness...
It's fine! It just proves how strong his heart is.
Hey, Todoroki! Can I have your autograph?
You were so cool at the sports festival!
Huh?
Stop being such a fangirl.
You can have my autograph, too.
Hey, change into your costumes and go to the orientation.
Don't waste time.
Yes, sir!
It's like... contact with people outside of school reminds me...
U.A. students are actually pretty famous, huh?
Oh, dear!
Could it be...? You didn't tell them, Eraser?
"Provisional Hero Licensing Exam Location"
There are so many...
There're so many...
Um...
Well then, let's do that provisional license thing...
I'm Mera from the Heroes Public Safety Commission.
The kind of sleep I like is non-REM sleep...
Nice to meet you.
I've been so busy that I haven't gotten much sleep...
We're too short-staffed...
I'm so sleepy!
With that conviction, I will give you the orientation.
He's not hiding his exhaustion at all. Is he okay?
About the content of the provisional license thing...
Frankly, all 1,540 examinees here will have to win through a free-for-all exercise!
Seriously?
That's not a lot to go on.
Our society is currently said to be saturated with heroes,
and ever since Stain was arrested,
many have shown doubts about the current state of heroes.
"Heroes should not seek compensation."
"It must be a title given to those who have sacrificed all of themselves."
The hero killer's convictions...
Well, as a private citizen, no matter what the motivation,
to tell someone risking their lives to save others not to seek any reward is...
It's the ruthless story of these modern times...
But anyway, whether it's for compensation or for loyalty and courage...
...the result of many heroes working hard together to help people and defeat villains
is that right now, the time from when an incident begins to when it is resolved
is so short that it'd make you sick.
When you all receive your provisional licenses,
you'll finally be thrown into those rapids.
Those who can't keep up with that speed will frankly have it tough.
Accordingly, what you'll be tested on is speed!
"Number to Pass 1st Test 100 People" Accordingly, what you'll be tested on is speed!
"Number to Pass 1st Test 100 People"
The first hundred to fulfill the requirements will pass.
There are a total of 1,540 people taking the exam!
Didn't they say half would pass...?
This means less than 10% will actually pass...
I'm getting even more nervous!
Well, a lot's happened out there in the world,
and you know, about luck and everything...
So anyway, here are the requirements.
"1st Test Rules" So anyway, here are the requirements.
"1st Test Rules"
The examinee will put three of these targets on his or her body.
"1st Test Rules"
They can go anywhere as long as it's an exposed area.
"1st Test Rules"
You can't put them on the soles of your feet or in your armpits.
You will also have six of these balls.
The targets are made to only light up if they're hit by these balls,
and if all three of your targets light up, then you're out.
"Fail" and if all three of your targets light up, then you're out.
The person who lights up your third target will receive credit for your defeat.
You get through this round by defeating two people.
That's it for the rules.
It's similar to the entrance exam...
No, but going up against people is completely different from going up against robots!
You have exactly enough balls for you to pass.
Are they recommending that we swoop in and steal the third target from someone else?
The rules are even harsher than in the entrance exam.
Okay then...
After we open, we'll pass out the targets and balls,
and then we'll start one minute after we've gotten to everyone.
"Open"?
I believe you all have terrain that you like and dislike.
Use your Quirks well and do your best.
It's unnecessarily big!
Anyway, we arranged for the terrain to be revealed like that...
But, yeah, it's unnecessary.
It's because of this that my sleep was...
I hope the developments are speedy so that I can rest as soon as possible...
Eraser, your fly's down...
Why is everyone around me so noisy?
I can't believe you still had twenty students, though.
It's unusual for you to not have expelled anyone.
You like your class this time?
Not really.
Don't be embarrassed! That's so lame!
--Go out with me! --Shut up.
But then, it's strange...
There's no way you don't know about that.
If the first people to finish win, then no one will go after people from their own school.
The way to win would be to team up with people whose power they already know.
Everyone, don't get too separated! Let's move as a group!
Okay!
Yeah.
Yeah right, this isn't a field trip!
Idiot, wait up!
Kacchan!
Kirishima!
I'm going to go on my own, too.
It's hard for me to use my power in a big group.
Todoroki!
Midoriya, there's no time! Let's go!
R-Right!
Every year, the test is different,
but there is one thing that's almost like a tradition for this provisional licensing exam.
I don't think it's a good idea to go off on our own, though...
Why not?
Because, you know! Everyone already knows what powers we have.
They already know?
I see, the sports festival!
As all the high schools around the country compete to pass the provisional licensing exam,
the only high school that has lost the advantage of no one knowing their Quirks...
...the top school whose sports festival is broadcast across the country
showing not just the students' Quirks, but also their weaknesses and fighting styles...
...is your school.
The other schools should also have figured out what I said earlier about the way to win.
I think it'll end up being a battle between schools.
Which means, they'll start thinking about which school to go after first.
Does that mean...
Don't tell me...
First test, start!
If you like your class this year, then you should've told your students.
What always happens at the beginning...
The crushing of U.A.
I knew it!
I saw it on TV! The super power that also destroys yourself!
Well, if a nail sticks out, then you've gotta hammer it down!
I think it's already more effective than just a stopgap.
Especially for the provisional licensing exam.
One For All...
...Full Cowling...
...Shoot Style!
"The crushing of U.A."
There wasn't really a reason why I didn't tell them,
but in the end, it wouldn't change what they had to do.
They just have to overcome everything.
Dark Shadow!
Got it!
All right!
Take that!
Oh?
A hero is someone who can turn around a bad situation.
In the first place, if they become pros, then everyone will already know their Quirks,
so I'm sorry, but we look a little further ahead than everyone else.
This can work.
My Shoot Style, and everyone's power...
...are showing the results of our intensive training!
Everyone, let's keep going like this!
Yeah!
The more we walk, the dirtier the soles of our shoes get
In the same way, our souls develop shadows as they're worn down
In times like that, remember why you can't give up
I thought I saved you, but think I was saved instead
I thought I grabbed your hand, but you actually grabbed mine
Let there be light on all of our journeys
I can't speak of strength or weakness
Each step you took forward was a victory for your bravery
Like inhaling in order to shout, an approach is needed to jump high
In order to laugh, we cried, and that's not called defeat
Longhope Philia
"Preview"
Here's the preview!
"Preview"
The first test of the provisional licensing exam has finally begun.
But right when it starts, we're attacked by Ketsubutsu Academy,
and I end up getting separated from the rest of the class.
Oh, no! I need to meet up with everyone else as soon as possible.
If I'm by myself, I'll be taken out.
A girl from Shiketsu High School appears in front of me while I'm in that state...
And she's all by herself...
Next time, "Shiketsu High Lurking"!
I don't know why, but I'm getting a little excited!
"Next time: Shiketsu High Lurking" I don't know why, but I'm getting a little excited!
"Next time: Shiketsu High Lurking"
Go beyond!
"Next time: Shiketsu High Lurking"
Plus Ultra!
